Lakers' Anthony Davis Motivated by 2020 Championship Ring: 'I Want Another One'

Anthony Davis' first taste of postseason success last season has him motivated to get the Los Angeles Lakers another championship in 2020-21.  

On the night the Lakers received their NBA championship rings, Davis made it clear he's not satisfied with just one title on his resume. 

"I want another one," he told reporters after the Lakers' 116-109 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. 

When the Lakers acquired Davis in July 2019 to play alongside LeBron James, it was for the purpose of making them an annual title contender. 

The James-Davis partnership immediately paid dividends. Their on-court chemistry was palpable, as they combined to average 51.4 points, 17.1 rebounds and 13.4 assists per game during the regular season. 

The Lakers earned the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference with a 52-19 record. They looked even better in the playoffs, winning 16 of 21 games to capture the franchise's 17th championship.

Davis was an unstoppable force throughout the postseason, but especially in the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat. The seven-time All-Star averaged 25 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists in the series and shot at least 50 percent in each of the first five games. 

The Lakers' quest to defend their title got off to a rough start on Tuesday, but their 2019-20 campaign also began with a loss to the Clippers.
